They Don’t Know the Truth
After seeing a whole lot about false teaching...etc.. I was compelled to dig up scripture that related to it. FALSE PROPHETS ~ DECEIVERS ~ PRETENDERS ~ COUNTERFEITS False prophets and those who seek their guidance will all be punished for their sins. (Ezekiel 14:10 NLT) Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. (Matthew 7:20 …
For the Whole World To See
One dog is sitting practically on my head. One is on my legs. The computer in my lap...Chili in the crock pot. The sound of the water running into the aquarium beside me. There are to-do lists. Places to be. Schedules to keep. But first, a message to share. The messages that I share with …
You Know It’s Time
Walking closely with Jesus, listening for his voice, and then knowing that you've just got to take that step and obey. But..... Is that MY voice I am hearing? Is that HIS voice? Is it because I. Am. Tired. ? Is it because It. Is. Right. ? How do you know what to do...where to …
Not So Excellent At Times

That’s. Not. Healthy.
I'm good at stuffing. Stuffing drawers. Stuffing cabinets. Stuffing closets. AND, yes, stuffing my feelings. Throw it all in and hurry and slam it shut before it falls out or comes undone. Just, out of sight, out of mind. That's. Not. Healthy. So, to be honest..it took me writing out my testimony to realize some …
Reflections
Like a lot of others, as this year comes to an end, I am reflecting. Reflecting on the past year. The choices made. The changes that need to be made in the coming year. There is always room to grow. Room for improvement. We have never "arrived". We have to keep …
Just Passing Through
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psalms 34:18 NLT) There are things in this world that happen, that I'll never understand.
